[Question] how do you actually verify units

Question Receipts ×3 Slow Clap ×1 Long Haul ×2

Right, the units question again, but with numbers this time.

I have 15 data points over 8 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign.

The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing showed up at week 12, not week 61. People give up long before the interesting part.

Interested in whether this matches other people's logs or whether I am an outlier.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

Show the arithmetic. Where did the units come from?

more water means more units for the same dose, which means finer resolution

Show the arithmetic.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

bacteriostatic and sterile water are not interchangeable, do not use them that way

swirl, do not shake, or you are courting oxidation

This is correct. 3mL versus 19mL is the common mistake.

Small correction: the trial was 3 weeks, not 3. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

I am going to push back on this slightly.

Cored the stopper on my 13th draw because I kept using the same entry point. Rotate the puncture site.

Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 20–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with concentration, not with what you concluded.

About c/reconstitution

The arithmetic and the technique. Bacteriostatic versus sterile water, reconstitution volume as a concentration choice, converting mg/mL into insulin-syringe units, dead space, swirl-not-shake, stopper coring, and how long a reconstituted vial is actually good for. Math errors get corrected fast and politely.

c/reconstitution rules
  1. Show your numbers. "How many units?" with no mg and no mL cannot be answered.
  2. Never post a calculation as advice without stating the concentration it assumes.
  3. No sterile-compounding-for-others discussion. Personal handling only.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
